It all started when I didn’t even know nitro RC existed, brand new to the hobby. I had seen two of my Dad’s Team Losi XXXN’Ts laying in a storage bin to rot away. I asked about them and he said he tried to get them running and he couldn’t. All of a sudden, I was determined to get them running...

I can't decide between the electric starter that is a brick with a rod or to just buy another pull starter. (The electric starter with a battery and charger $80 and arrives later in august. On the other hand...

My Tamiya TGX Mk1 has served its time, it’s been an eventful and fruitfull 2yrs but I decided that I want to try out nitro buggies instead of touring. Due to my decision I’m actioning on eBay considering the price of these other tgx’s on eBay it should sell for 200 or so cheaper than the rest...
I have a 2000-2001 Duratrax Street Pro GP that I’ve been trying to get running for the past week. I started off with a new glow plug and I freed the engine up. Now I’m having trouble getting it started and I have no clue why. I’m pretty sure the engine isn’t flooded (I’ve drained it several...
Hi all,
My Traxxas Jato has given me a bit of trouble since I got it. I have been running nitro for about a year and this is the only one that gives me trouble.

I was searching the forums and found someone talking about the Klinik Rc air filter and how they were supposed to be better than the others. I need a new air filter for an engine and figured I should ask around about before potentially purchasing one. Heres what they look like if anyone's...
